Katie tweeted a link to the online story, accompanied by the message: 'This just made me vow a bit! Maria Fowler and Elliot Wright share a kiss during night out.'

And as if this wasn't enough to anger the star, Katie then followed up with: 'I sadly can no longer crush on @elliotwright_ haha ewwwwww.'

Katie's tweeting obviously caught Maria's attention, who responded: 'Sit down you mug, Don't watch my life and focus on your own. You're not exactly classy yourself. #troll'

Ouch!

The pair continued their exchange with Katie tweeting: 'haha wow really?trust me would rather watch paint dry than ur life!! Have a wonderful Christmas sweetheart #peaceout x'

Maria then bluntly replied: 'thanks. Stop tweeting about me then. Creep.'

But where was Mr Wright in this exchange? It appears Elliot kept his distance from the girl's remarks, only joining into confirm that he and Maria were just friends - despite being pictured getting up close and personal at Wayne Lineker's bracelet launch at Loughton's Nu Bar.

Let's hope the pair have buried the hatchet!
